Chapter 491: The undercurrent of the dynasty's heart surges

readx;? When it comes to the edict, the first thing that many people think of is the edict of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, which is a place where people talk about the tiger's discoloration, it is no longer a prison, but hell, and the people who enter the edict prison can rarely come out alive, even if they come out, they can only drool to live, and when the weather is good, they can be pushed out to bask in the sun.

But in fact, the edict prison has existed since ancient times, and to put it bluntly, it is a prison directly under the control of the emperor.

Some high-ranking officials or sensitive people, such as Jiuqing or county guards, if they committed a crime, they were thrown into the edict through the emperor's edict.

Mortals in the market say that a spit is a pit, and literati often say that a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, and as the son of heaven, he should be a man of his word.

Therefore, what His Majesty the Emperor said, even if it is wrong, it is rarely changed, so if he is thrown into prison by the emperor himself, if he wants to come out, the difficulty can be imagined.

After Zhao Yun came out of the inner palace, he directly wanted to deal with Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou, which shows that he was very angry in his heart, maybe Princess Ruiguo really suffered some harm, which caused Zhao Yun to be so angry.

Yang Jing doesn't know the current affairs, and at this time, he still insists on what tricks to seek the truth, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!

should have been happy, and Yang Jing could also get a great credit, but Yang Jing chose to persevere to the end, and as a result, he was deprived of all official titles, fell from the clouds to dust, and became a prisoner in the edict prison!

If Yang Jing could slowly figure it out, first endure it, and then secretly investigate, find conclusive evidence, and then show Zhao Yun a tribute, maybe it wouldn't be like this.

Although Yang Jing has no experience in fighting in the court, he shouldn't be so impulsive, but why did he touch this mold?

In fact, Yang Jing did not think about this issue, and it was precisely because of careful consideration that he made such a decision.

Because he knew that if he didn't show his attitude, the angry Zhao Yun would definitely bring Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou to justice as soon as possible, if these two people were beheaded, then the two most critical parties would be missing, and the Qionglin banquet would be as usual, Jiying Hall would be restored to its original appearance, and all traces would be removed, and it would be even more difficult to investigate when the time came.

Besides, if he doesn't express his position, Zhao Yun will inevitably believe that this is the case, and Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou will have no chance to turn over.

But even if he doesn't argue with reason, as long as he shows his attitude, as the person who obtained the results of the first phase of the investigation, Yang Jing's questioning will make Zhao Yun unconfident, make him feel puzzled, and no longer affirm the results of the investigation.

Maybe Zhao Yun was angry, and he wouldn't consider it at that time, but he was a monarch, how could he be an ordinary dull husband, and later Zhao Yun would definitely think that there was another hidden meaning in this case because of Yang Jing's performance.

In fact, Yang Jing just wanted to use his statement to plant a seed of doubt in Zhao Yun's heart, so as to buy time and temporarily keep Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou!

Xu Fo and Dong Huai are old elves, and they will definitely understand Yang Jing's intentions, even if Yang Jing is imprisoned, these two will definitely secretly investigate.

Of course, it is unknown whether Xu Fo and Dong Huai can understand Yang Jing's intentions and whether they can withstand the pressure to investigate, and Yang Jing can only plan for the best while also planning for the worst.

As I said earlier, in comparison, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were actually more merciful, and there were no too shocking killings, so the edict was not as dark and damp as Yang Jing's impression, cockroaches and rats were rampant, and the smell of feces and drowning did not exist.

Although there are forbidden soldiers guarding the outside of the prison, it is actually very loose inside, because the people who come in are all people who have been dominant, so the jailers do not dare to be too harsh.

The light inside is very good, the food is a little rough, but not to the point of being unbearable, and there are even places to read books and walk.

Yang Jing was born as a pusher, and he got along with Wang Dou and others earlier, and he was very affinity for small people like jailers, and he was not as sour as civil officials, nor as indifferent as martial artists, but he was easy-going with some ordinary people, so the jailers had no bad feelings towards him.

Because Zhao Yun was not allowed to visit, Yang Jing could not know the situation outside, so he could only make friends with these jailers, who became his main source of information.

Yang Jing even asked the jailer to help and brought a message to Chen Mi and the others, so that Feng Ruochen and the others did not need to worry about their own safety.

Of course, the jailer also got a rich reward, and he became more and more polite to Yang Jing, for those who started from the local grassroots, exterminated the White Bull Sect, smiled proudly across the rivers and lakes, walked through the temples, and went to the battlefield, it is not difficult to mix better in the edict prison.

On the fifth day of entering the Imperial Prison, Yang Jing finally learned from the jailer what had happened in the past few days.

The Qionglin banquet went on as usual and was not affected, and the cases of Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou were only circulated in a small area among the officialdom.

The imperial court announced to the outside world that during the rehearsal, Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou violated the rules, resulting in the accidental death of Xie Yingtang, the eye of the list, and Wen Ruyu, the flower showman, took the position of the eye of the list, which was postponed in the future, and the other rankings were also promoted.

As compensation, Xie Yingtang's family received a bereavement pension and allowed one member of his family to be given the birth of Tongjinshi and fill the official position of Bapin as soon as possible.

All kinds of measures seem to minimize the impact of this matter, and then it was reported that the official family has a good impression of the new champion, and it is impossible to say that the champion will really be recruited as a colt.

But soon news came out, saying that it was the palace servant Shi Ding Daquan who joined forces with many Taiwan officials to impeach Dong Huai, the right minister and privy envoy, saying that Dong Huai was bullying people and wantonly suppressing honest officials, supporting party henchmen, seeking personal privileges, and plotting against misdeeds in the name of rectifying discipline and discipline!

As we all know, Dong Huai is a doer, as a minister of power, Dong Huai's authority is getting bigger and bigger, and some people say that he has made great achievements, which has aroused the jealousy of the officials.

Later, news came out, saying that Yang Zhen was not the mastermind, the real mastermind was Dong Dengzhou, and it was not Xie Yingtang who was targeted, but wanted to do tricks in the Jiying Palace, and wanted to take the opportunity to murder the Great Song official family who presided over the Qionglin banquet!

Some people even said that after the matter was reviewed, it has been confirmed by Dali Temple!

Of course, these are all gossip, and it is impossible for the jailer to know the inside story, and Yang Jing does not have the luxury of hoping to get exact news from the jailer.

He knows that the jailer is a member of the public opinion, and the news he gets from the jailer may not be able to know the real situation, but he can perceive the direction of public opinion, and public opinion has always been controlled by the imperial court.

By extrapolating like this, we can know the attitude of the imperial court towards this case.

And the news brought by the jailer is also conclusive, saying that Dong Huai will be deposed soon, and many people are optimistic that Wu Qian, the left minister, will replace Dong Huai and become the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but there is also gossip that Dong Songchen and Ding Daquan and others intend to push Uncle Xie Fang to the position in the matter.

Uncle Xie Fang has not served as a political counselor, whether it is qualifications or talents, he can't even compare to one of Wu Qian's toes, and Uncle Xie Fang is still a master and faction, the so-called lord and faction, in today's military pattern, it is almost the same as a surrender faction.

Moreover, Uncle Xie Fang was single-handedly supported by Dong Songchen and others, and when the time comes, the authority of the imperial court will all fall into the hands of these powerful traitors!

The people outside the imperial city are still immersed in the celebration of the white horse parade of the new science and technology scholars, and the people of the empire are still excited and happy that the empire has produced a lot of talents, but the civil and military officials in the court are already in a bloody storm, swaying, and do not know how to stand in order to protect themselves.

The focus of the people is still on the body of Zhou Zhenyan, the champion of the new department, and they envy him for not mentioning the title of the gold list, but he can still climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, which will definitely become a good story.

But inside the court, the man who was on the cusp of the storm was Dong Huai, and Zhou Zhenyan seemed to have become a fig leaf for the court's struggle, making the people talk about it, but they didn't know anything about the dangerous situation of Lao Zaifu, who had made outstanding contributions to the country.

Yang Jing actually knew that Ding Daquan had a big plan, which was one of the reasons why he had to find out the truth.

But right now, if Dong Huai is really as mired as rumored, then the heavy task of investigating the truth can only fall on Xu Fo.

It's just that the Imperial City Division has been excluded by Zhao Yun, and Yan Ming is directly in charge of the overall situation under the command of the front division of the palace, and Xu Fo wants to investigate, so he can only do it secretly, which is also a violation of the official taboo, and it can only be seen whether Xu Fo has the courage.

After figuring out the basic situation outside, Yang Jing was also thinking about countermeasures, but he was also out of reach.

Fortunately, a few days later, Chen Mi finally passed the news to Yang Jing through the secret channel of the Imperial City Division, and sure enough, part of the situation was confirmed, Dong Huai was afraid that he would really be unable to protect himself!

Yang Jing had a lot of ideas in his heart, but his actions were limited and he couldn't implement them, so he could only give Chen Mi and Xu Fo some guiding suggestions through the secret inspectors in the edict, hoping that the Imperial City Division could turn the situation around and stop the treacherous conspiracy of Ding Daquan and Dong Songchen!

On this day, the old jailer finally came in in a hurry, saying that someone had come to visit Yang Jing, and his face could not hide the surprise on his face.

The old jailer was also shocked in his heart, because the official family had issued an order to prohibit anyone from visiting Yang Jing, in this case, someone actually came to visit, it can be seen that Yang Jing's background is profound, the prison guards treat the prisoners in it well, it is not an investment, once released, these people will give rich returns, no wonder the old jailer is so happy.

And Yang Jing was also in a very good mood, because it was Gao Caizhi who came to visit him!

If you want to solve Dong Huai's predicament, you must draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the case of Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou is the pedal for Ding Daquan and Dong Songchen to exert their strength, as long as this case is solved, Dong Huai's predicament can be alleviated.

But Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou have been imprisoned, and Yang Jing is currently in prison, and it is impossible to contact them, but in addition to Yang Zhen and Dong Dengzhou, there are two other people who are very important, that is, the princess of Ruiguo, Tiansun'er and Gao Caizhi!

Gao Caizhi can be said to have gone through hardships, originally for the sake of a broader yearning in her heart, she left Dali and came out to see the customs of the Great Song Dynasty, but who would have thought that she would suffer all the way, even the mother who had just recognized her died tragically in the hands of the thugs, and finally got revenge, she also let go of her knots, and saw the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, the prosperity of Lin'an, and even saw the palace, and not as an envoy of Dali!

She once thought that she could play by Yang Jing's side like this, but who would have thought that there would be such a thing again, and Yang Jing had nothing to do with the case, but in the end she was thrown into the edict because of her confrontation with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!

The moment she saw Yang Jing, she finally couldn't help but throw herself into Yang Jing's arms!
